I'm not targeting Beyoncé's body, but hers is the closest to my body shape (prior to my excess weight gain). We're close in height, shape, breast size, waist/hip ratio, etc.

At 63, I have no chance for Channing Tatum. I'm just trying to be a slimmer, healthier, better ME.

Haha. Maybe Channing Tatum would probably have a harder time emulating your body when he's 63.

Only my own. That is because everyones body shape, height and factors are different and there is no sense to try to be something else than own self. Even siblings of same parents tend to be too different to be same.

I'm targeting a sexier, fitter version of myself. I don't admire celebrities. It's taken a long time for me to accept that I'm built like a gymnast, not a ballerina, so I will always be short and solidly built, not thin and graceful, and I capitalize on this by alternating strength training with cardio to stay trim and muscular. Sometimes I do well, other times I fall off the wagon. Right now I'm doing well.

My own! If all of us worked as hard as the people in those pictures, your body would be perfect for you! When I'm at my fittest, there's no reason to wish I looked like someone else! Right now I'm back on track so... Still, be happy with what you have and treat your body like the finely tuned machine it is created to be!!

Totally agree with this ^^^. Except in my case I am built like a swimmer/dancer with a long tall body - legs and torso, not much butt. But at 66 y. o. I am just working at being the best I can be for what I've got, and overall I think I am doing very well now. I have some fat on my stomach, but I don't want to lose any more weight because I don't like the way I look now when I was as thin as I was when younger. Older women look better with a little padding (yes, a LITTLE! lol) I am not targeting anyone's body, either, but I do admire figures like Jillian Michaels. Or fighter Gina Carano.

I'm targeting my legs and I'm tall, so this is nice and I like short hair ( or I have short hair)

I'd be fine with something like Tommy Jeffers.





Rich Froning isn't bad either, even with the pretty blatant lying about steroid use notwithstanding.
